he took one line from the article, ONE, literally one man's opinion and he is talking it up as if there is an entire movement behind it.
He is trying to paint an entire group of people (liberals) after what the most vocal and insane of them do online, who, like Reza Aslan (who i didn't know was involved) said, haven't even watched the show.
But they may have a point, i should also judge every american identifying as a republican by the actions of the nutcases storming the Capitol on the 6th of january, right?
Concerns were raised about the show, we don't know how severe the backlash was because all we have is this clickbait article.

Reza Aslan is executive producer, he has 4 afghan writers , there are 4 more afghan characters on the show played by actual afghans. He has asked people not to judge the show by the trailer and watch the show (or not).

The United States of Al and who plays whom on it isn't important.
The issue is that Earl is being a hypocrite again and tries to throw a problem old as human history into the lap of just one group, a group he happens to be in opposition of.
Can we stop this thread until we have actually seen that sitcom and until then just ignore the hypocrite ?
